How It Works & Technical Architecture

Gross Profit = Revenue (Selling Price) - Cost of Goods Sold (COGS).

Profit Margin (%) = (Gross Profit / Revenue) × 100.

Markup (%) = (Gross Profit / Cost) × 100; Required Selling Price for a target margin M is: Price = Cost / (1 - (M / 100)). All calculations execute locally in client memory.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the fundamental difference between Margin and Markup?

Margin is the percentage of selling price that is profit: (Profit / Price) * 100. Markup is the percentage added to cost: (Profit / Cost) * 100. A 50% markup equals a 33.3% margin.

How do you calculate selling price from cost and desired margin?

Formula: Selling Price = Cost / (1 - Margin Percentage / 100). For example, a $50 cost with a 40% desired margin requires a selling price of $50 / 0.60 = $83.33.

Can I calculate profit across multiple product units?

Yes. Softnag allows you to specify quantity sold to project total gross revenue and aggregate profit.

Are my confidential product costs stored on any server?

No. All margin calculations execute 100% locally in your browser memory.

Can I copy the complete pricing breakdown with one click?

Yes. Softnag includes one-click copy buttons for selling price, gross profit, margin percentage, and markup.

What is the difference between margin and markup?
